After 22 years experience as both a Sales Manager and Account Executive with two National organizations, I returned to college in 1999 to complete a degree in Fine Arts. During that time, I developed my small jewelry business and taught many pottery and other art workshops. I maintained this along with taking 15 hours a semester and graduating Magna Cum Laude in May 2001 from Texas State University. I returned to Sales and Marketing in the healthcare industry until leaving to devote myself to teaching art and forming The Alchemy Group in April 2007.
